Tasting Notes:

This stunning Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied, rich, and beautifully balanced on the palate. Expect a complex and evolving profile developed through extended aging:

• Nose: A concentrated bouquet of dark fruit such as blackcurrant and blackberry, layered with nuanced notes developed from its extensive oak aging. Hints of cedar, tobacco, vanilla, and subtle spice will likely emerge, indicative of its time in French oak.
• Palate: The full body is supported by rich and well-integrated tannins, providing structure and longevity. Expect concentrated flavors of dark fruit that echo the nose, along with complex, savory, and spicy notes derived from the oak. The wine’s balance suggests a harmonious interplay of fruit, tannins, and acidity, leading to a long and satisfying finish.

This Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the potential of Valle de Guadalupe, representing a selection of the best four barrels from the harvest. It underwent a total of 24 months of aging in French oak barrels (a blend of 1st and 2nd use), followed by an additional 24 months of bottle aging, unfiltered and unfined, before release.
